Chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

From Everyday Food September 2008

1 1/2 c Old-fashioned rolled oats (not quick-cooking)
1/2 c all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
1/2 c raisins
1/2 tea baking soda
1/2 tea salt
6 Tb unsalted butter, room temp
1/2 c packed dark-brown sugar
1/4 c granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 tea pure vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350. In a medium bowl, whisk together oats, flour, raisins, baking soda, and salt; set aside. Using an electric mixer, beat bnutter and sugars until light and fluffy, scraping down bowl as necessary. Add egg and vanilla; beat until combined. Gradually add oat mixture; beat just until combined.

Drop dough by rounded Tb, 2 inches apart, onto two baking sheets. Bake until cookies are golden brown but still soft, 12-16 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. Cool 5 minutes on sheets; transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. Makes 24.
